Spencer's Gone to Portugal!

Olá,

Feliz Natal minha família. Como vão vossa Natal? well it isn't christmas yet but since i don't email tomorrow i'll email today. so far the first few days leading up to christmas have been a little hectic haha so yseterday my comp had to go tot the doc becuase his arm has been swollen for awhile and they wanted to see what was wrong so they did an ultrasound and found a blood clot. it turns out he has thoracic outlet syndrome. so the blood clot was right underneath his clavical. so the doctor wanted to take it out so that mean the would have to stay overnight. so in the meantime i went back to them MTC not knowing how my comp was doing. so he got back just like an hour ago blood clot free but he thinks he's going to get teh surgery where they remove his first rib or clavical to relieve the pressure so it doen't happen again which mean s he won't be going to porto on time. wehich kind of sucks because i know he wants to go so bad but it's whatever the Lord wants. and for the TRC this wekk we got a nice little surprise. we had to teach an investigator all in portuguese but he was a non-christian. and our investigator chose to be muslim... good thing i know a little bit about islam. but it was really interesting. the investigator we got we call Pai Doutrina (father doctrine) becuase he knows so much about the gospel and about other religions. and he speaks portuguese like a native (really Fluent) but the lesson went reaslly good we were kinda chocked that he was muslim but we handled it really well and the lesson went great and we taught him the first lessonwhich is the lesson of the Restoration of the church.

i love being here and i knoew this is the only place im supposed to be right now. i knwot he churtch ois true and tha t Jesus is my Savior and tha t heavenly father loves me. i've come to know that here better than any other place. i love you guys so much and keep semnding me letter and i will try my best to write back but i don't have much time to anymore we're crammed wioth studying for invstigators but i will try my best. thanks for all you've done and for all my presents i'll write next weel what i got. love you guys a lot.

feliz natal
